About this ebook
Episcopalians are famous for their liturgy, music, and their thoughtful approach to faith and prayer. However, Episcopalians are less famous for their willingness to talk about their faith and their experience of God. In this volume, a group of leading Episcopalians share moments of deep spiritual intimacy. When did they sense the presence of God? How did they experience the presence of God? What is prayer like? How do they pray? What is it like to walk each day with Jesus? How seriously do they take the promptings of the Holy Spirit? How does the "transcendent" feel in their lives? How does the "transcendent" show up in their daily lives? This is a unique book that invites the reader to also start sharing their own sense of God with others.
